the kissaway trail – Indie Music Filter

The Sound Of Arrows, Friendly Fires cover Kings, new Kissaway Trail

I’d never heard this version until Carles posted it in his poetic tribute to lyrics of 2009. Ripped from BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, the quality isn’t really that great, but I’m more a fan of this than the original. Radio killed that one for me.

Pitchfork has a new song by The Kissaway Trail called ‘SDP‘. Good timing on that, I was recently wondering where that band had disappeared to. New record in the new year produced by The National/Interpol producer Peter Katis and on the Bella Union label.

Speaking of Nordic bands, heard M.A.G.I.C by The Sound Of Arrows in a Mitsubishi ad. Anyone else catch that?

Canadian Music Week 2007: part 1

Last year the guy that put my Canadian Music Week wristband on, put it on way too tight. My hand was slightly and noticably darker at the end of the weekend. This year, the only dammage I plan on doing to my body is a good ol’ fashioned workout for Jeff, my liver.

Let’s start with Wednesday… Not many options, but the majority will be attending Indie Awards at the Docks. If you don’t mind seeing only 1 or 2 songs each from a bunch of bands, then this is your ticket. Champion, Priestess and Cadence Weapon make this bill interesting… Wolfmother will be there to play before being wisked off to the Kool Haus to play their sold out show. my bad, apparently Wolfmother played last night and destroyed $15,000 worth of equipment while smashing instruments on stage.

Before I make it there, stopping in on ‘SPOT on Denmark’ at the Trump Tower. Keep your ears peeled for the Danes (Moi Caprice, Funky Nashville, Powersolo, Vincent Van Go Go, and The Kissaway Trail) around Toronto this week.
